TCM Previews: Sew Lovely

Hello, friends. I hope you are enjoying the previews that The Craft's Meow team has been showing the last few days. The stamps will be available for purchase tomorrow. We will celebrate with a hop, so make sure you come back!

Today, we're featuring another set of mine that was released originally through The Angel Company. It's called Sew Lovely. I actually combined two sets into one and added a few more images. I designed this a long time ago and was looking forward to using it a lot, but then TAC closed its doors and I had to shelf it for later re-release. I have been dying to use it and now I can again! It makes great backgrounds and/or focal points. Many of these images coordinate with Spellbinders Labels.

I followed the color scheme of the patterned paper, which is by My Mind's Eye. The button card is die cut using SB Labels 8. The vintage bloomers (row of fabric roses) are by Want2Scrap. You will see more projects with these. I just love them!

The pin cushion you see below is a die cut from my Sewing Elements dies. The buttons were stamped with various Tsukineko inks and punched using a 3/4" circle punch.

Please check out The Craft's Meow's blog for more inspiration from the rest of  theTCM team members and info about a giveaway! See you back here tomorrow for a blog hop!

Thanks Sew Much

Happy Monday, my crafty friends. Did you get some craft time over the weekend? I spent most of it, cuddled with my girls (2 of them were sick), while it snowed outside. We're still below freezing here and life has slowed down a bit.

Today's card features my Spellbinders Sewing Elements dies, along with an oldie Gina K Designs stamps and Crate Paper papers. I followed the Crazy4Challenges sketch for this one. This is also for Moxie Fab's Die Cutting Challenge.

I used the scissors die cut as an accent here with a button in the center.

On another note, have you seen the peek from The Craft's Meow's February release? This set is a re-release of one of my former The Angel Company stamps. I added an image to fill the space in a 4 x 6 clear set. I have another set for this release also that will go well with my Spellbinders dies above. The TCM DT will start previews later this week!

XOXO and Exciting News!

I have another Valentine card for you today. I never celebrated Valentine's day as a kid. We just never did that in the Philippines. As a card maker, though, I love making these lovelies now. I adore the color palette of reds and pinks.

This one uses my Spellbinders licensed designs, Sewing Elements (dress form) and Home Sweet Home (small tag). The "XO" sentiment is by The Craft's Meow. The papers are Crate Paper and there's that heart pearls again. I can't get enough of these Want2Scrap bling. After I put this card together with all the elements, it looked like it was missing something. A few staples later, then it's complete :).

The wooden butterfly wings are leftovers from Pink Paislee's collection last year. It was broken, so I got this idea to put behind the dress form.

Finally, my happy news...I mentioned earlier that I am in the 2012 Want2Scrap DT. I didn't mention that I am also a product designer for this wonderful bling company. You can take a peek of my designs here.  They are Borders and Corners for your lovely cards! I can't wait to see what you make with these.

Have a great day, friends!

Many Thanks, Some Exciting news and a Giveaway!

I am thrilled to share my new exciting news with you today...First, I have been asked to join the Want2Scrap Design Team! If you've been a regular visitor to my blog, you know that I love their products. I have always loved pearls and bling, but used them sparingly because they're pretty pricey.

That is, until I discovered Want2Scrap because their bling is so reasonably priced, especially when they have the 99cent sale (which is going on now!). Another reason I love Want2Scrap is because they make the Nestabling and Nestaboard, bling and chipboard that coordinate with Spellbinders products! They're a perfect match and I'm a happy crafter that I get to work with both companies.Speaking of Spellbinders, have you seen all the newly released products yet? They are fabulous! They have also posted a little blurb about me on the site HERE.

Today's card then uses both of these companies' products.I used my Home Sweet Home and Sewing Elements dies (shipping at the end of February!), along with Labels 10. The frame is stamped from Layers of Color's Elegant Labels. The little heart pearl is by Want2Scrap, papers by Webster's Pages and sentiment by SRM stickers.

I die cut and embossed the wings and dress forms, then inked with white craft just the embossed top part to make them stand out. I'm entering this to the Moxie Fab's Die Cutting and Embossing & Debossing Challenges.
